一、CNN的本质与核心思想
卷积神经网络(Convolutional Neural Network, CNN)是一种专门用于处理网格状数据(如图像、视频、音频、时间序列)的深度学习模型。其核心思想是通过局部连接、权重共享和层次化特征提取,自动学习数据的空间或时间层次结构。
1.1 CNN的核心特性详细解析
局部感受野(Local Receptive Fields)
-
生物学基础:受视觉皮层中神经元只响应局部刺激的启发
-
数学实现:每个神经元仅与前一层局部区域连接(而非全连接)
-
优势:
-
大幅减少参数量(如5×5局部连接 vs 全连接)
-
保留空间局部相关性
-
适合处理平移不变特征
-
权重共享(Shared Weights)
-
原理:同一卷积核在输入的不同位置使用相同参数
-
计算优势:
-
参数量从O(n²)降至O(k²)(k为卷积核尺寸)
-
实现高效的特征检测器平移不变性
-
-
物理意义:在整个图像中寻找相同模式(如边缘检测)
层次化特征学习
-
特征层次:
-
第1层:边缘、颜色突变
-
第2层:简单纹理、几何形状
-
第3层:物体部件(如车轮、眼睛)
-
深层:完整物体/场景
-
-
可视化证据:通过反卷积网络可视化各层特征(Zeiler & Fergus, 2014)
平移不变性(Translation Invariance)
-
实现机制:
-
卷积操作本身具有平移等变性
-
池化操作增强不变性
-
-
数学表达:
-
-
应用价值:对目标位置变化具有鲁棒性

混合精度训练:
需要对浮点数精度有深刻的理解。在GPU上执行混合精度训练时,通常会使用浮点16(FP16)来加速计算并减少内存使用。然而,由于FP16的动态范围较小,可能导致数值不稳定。为了解决这个问题,混合精度训练结合了FP16和更稳定的FP32计算格式。
为完整实现一个不依赖于任何库的混合精度训练过程,需要处理张量的精度转换、损失缩放以及梯度更新。
import numpy as np class MyModel: def __init__(self, input_size, output_size): self.weights = np.random.randn(input_size, output_size).astype(np.float32) def forward(self, inputs): return np.dot(inputs, self.weights) def backward(self, grad_out): return grad_out # Dummy backward implementation for demonstration class MixedPrecisionTrainer: def __init__(self, model, lr=0.01): self.model = model self.lr = lr self.loss_scaler = 1024.0 # Initial loss scaling factor def autocast_forward(self, inputs): # Convert inputs to float16, perform forward pass, convert result to float32 inputs_fp16 = inputs.astype(np.float16) outputs_fp16 = self.model.forward(inputs_fp16) outputs_fp32 = outputs_fp16.astype(np.float32) return outputs_fp32 def compute_loss(self, outputs, targets): # Simple mean squared error loss return np.mean((outputs - targets) ** 2) def scale_and_backward(self, loss): scaled_loss = loss * self.loss_scaler grad_out = self.model.backward(scaled_loss) # Scale down gradients for stable float32 updates grad_out /= self.loss_scaler # Update model parameters via simple gradient descent self.model.weights -= self.lr * grad_out def update_loss_scaler(self, overflow): # Adjust the loss scaling factor based on overflow if overflow: self.loss_scaler /= 2.0 else: self.loss_scaler *= 2.0 def train_step(self, inputs, targets): # Forward pass with mixed precision outputs = self.autocast_forward(inputs) # Compute loss and check for numeric overflow loss = self.compute_loss(outputs, targets) overflow = np.isinf(loss) or np.isnan(loss) # Perform backward pass and update weights self.scale_and_backward(loss) # Update the loss scaling factor self.update_loss_scaler(overflow) # Example usage model = MyModel(input_size=3, output_size=2) trainer = MixedPrecisionTrainer(model, lr=0.01) # Dummy input and target data inputs = np.random.randn(10, 3).astype(np.float32) targets = np.random.randn(10, 2).astype(np.float32) # Perform a training step trainer.train_step(inputs, targets)
